@Manutd_addicts They have full good squads. We have no midfield. Madrid are looking are selling to improve. Glazers are just spending time on PR to hide away like the rats they are #GlazersOut
Manchester United elevated Mateus Fernandes to their priority midfield target towards the end of the season, once it became clear that Nottingham Forest’s demands for first-choice Elliot Anderson would be too steep and that his likely destination would be Manchester City.
In early June, Old Trafford’s leadership were reluctant to meet West Ham United’s demands, but serious competition from north London made their hopes of reaching a compromise more challenging.
According to one Tottenham source, Roberto De Zerbi’s admiration was key in advancing that interest and establishing Fernandes as a priority.
Spurs have approached this summer window with a determination to back their head coach, and to be ruthless and decisive in their pursuit of targets.
Bruno Fernandes helped with attempts to persuade the 21-year-old that Old Trafford should be his next destination.
According to one source, Fernandes was convinced by Tottenham’s offer, believing he would play a significant role under De Zerbi, whose playing style could maximise his potential.
As Spurs decisively closed the agreement with West Ham, some at Old Trafford felt they would have been outbid regardless of how much they offered.
Personal terms had not been expected to be an issue for Manchester United, but Tottenham’s salary offer was also viewed as beyond what the Old Trafford hierarchy were willing to commit to.

@MickRuby_MURTV@SullyTalkz Its all an illusion mate they own the club and have final decision on everything as football decisions impact money and that's all they care about. They play fans for fools unfortunately
@UtdArts1 If he was the right profile of player the club wanted they should have bought him and moved on. City, Chelsea Liverpool etc do that and win. The club has no ambition under the Glazers and thry have put the fans where they want them. Do as they say
@Malachians Its a Glazer club with no ambition mate. It's a.mix of a.Mike Ashley newcastle and Spurs of the north to show NFL games and gigs. We stay in limbo u til we have owners that want to win amd not just make money #GlazersOut
Mateus Fernandes…
- Manchester United offered £80m + £5m
- Looks like Tottenham didn’t offer £250k
Failing to sign Mateus Fernandes is on INEOS’ football operation. Embarrassing!
This is what debt-free @ManUtd could spend in the transfer window. The debt the Glazers took to buy the club. The Glazers and Ineos have to go if we are to see the great club thrive again #GlazersOut#GlazersSellNow#GlazersSellManUtd#INEOSOUT
If you want best in class and decide that's the players then you pay the money. City don't get played as fools they pay as they have ambition. Glazers have none of that, they just want a North West Neecastle with a spurs music stadium. #GlazersOut
